After a sweaty day of practice before heading off in their own directions, Cardinals players casually huddled in groups on Tuesday to discuss their varying plans for the rest of their “off” week. Some were arranging tee times. Some were bragging about their upcoming trip to Cabo. Others talked about just spending time with their families.

Offensive linemen Mike Iupati and D.J. Humphries, meanwhile, just sat in front of their lockers trying to count all the big-name players lost to serious injuries this NFL season.

“J.J. Watt. Joe Thomas,” Iupati said, shaking his head.

“Jason Peters just last night, man,” Humphries said, referring to the Eagles’ left tackle who suffered torn knee ligaments on Monday night.

“Your identity as a team is associated through your players and when they’re stripped away … I mean, the Packers, they’re the same team but their identity is not the same without Aaron Rodgers. I mean, are you (expletive) kidding me? Miami’s identity is not the same without Tannehill. Philadelphia is not going to have the same identity without a perennial All-Pro left tackle in Jason Peters. I mean, you’re only as good as your personnel, is what I’m trying to say.”

Stanton will make his first start a week from Sunday when the Cardinals play at the winless 49ers (0-7).

“Drew came in last year when Carson went down with a concussion and we won at San Francisco,” Fitzgerald said. “He’s come in before and played well for us. It was an extended period of time when we’ve played with Drew and it’s enough to know what he likes to do and be comfortable with him.”

Stanton is 6-3 as a starter, but he looked shaky upon replacing Palmer in the first half of Sunday’s game at Twickenham Stadium. Nine of his 14 passes were incomplete and he was intercepted once. His quarterback rating was 11.2.

“I know my career stats are probably horrible; I couldn’t even tell you what they are,” Stanton said, referencing his record as a starter. “That’s the ultimate measure off a quarterback, especially as a backup. That’s something I take pride in, is trying to come in and win football games. That’s why I was disappointed from a personal standpoint of what happened last week because I went out there and wasn’t able to get it pulled out.

“Now I’m getting a full week to really digest the game plan and really, that’s the beauty about B.A. (head coach Bruce Arians). He lets you kind of tailor it to what you want. When you go into those Saturday night meetings as a quarterback, you have a lot of freedom, and he has a lot of trust in his signal callers. So to be able to do that, I definitely feel comfortable moving forward.”

Many Cardinals said they aren’t about to panic or throw in the towel.

“It was a rough trip back (from London),” running back Adrian Peterson said. “I think a lot of guys were just trying to sleep it off and trying to get it out of your mind as fast as possible. It’s going to be a quick turnaround – it seems like it’s going to be a short bye week – and then we’re going to get back to work.”

As for losing Palmer just a week after he joined the team, Peterson said he was at a loss for words.

“It’s going to be tough, but it’s not the first time this organization has dealt with injuries,” he said. “We’ve just got to bounce back and continue to press forward. … I know I’m going to go out there with the same emphasis of doing my job and doing it to the max.

“I’m very disappointed with how we performed as a group in the run game, and we’ll take this time to reflect and make sure that’s not the case for the remainder of the season.”

How do the Cardinals turn the page?

“You’ve just got to put it behind you, man,” Peterson said. “You have to have a short-term memory, learn from it, obviously, and continue to go forward. It’s a long season. If we want to accomplish what we’ve set forth, we’re going to have to use that short-term memory and just try focusing on this next game and get a ‘W.’ ”

Note

The Cardinals made the signing of former Arizona State quarterback Mike Bercovici to the practice squad official on Tuesday. To make room, the team released offensive lineman Givens Price from the practice squad. Bercovici has been a free agent since being released by the Chargers just before the start of the season.
